What Exactly Is A Hair Mask Used For?

We've all heard of hair masks and know they're somehow good for our hair but what exactly are their benefits?

What is a hair mask?

A hair mask is a deep-conditioning treatment designed to improve the health of your hair. Basically a face mask but for your hair.

They're also known as deep-conditioning treatments. What sets them apart from a normal conditioner is that they have a heavier concentration of nourishing ingredients and their consistency is typically thicker than a normal conditioner.

Like face masks, hair masks are also left on for a certain period of time. The time will vary depending on what mask is being used.

There are masks available for all types of hair and hair care issues, such as colour-treated hair, curly hair, dry hair and even oily hair.
